Stay healthy after a cardiac, pulmonary or vascular condition with our Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Maintenance Program. This supervised exercise program is designed for patients and their spouses who have completed a Phase II Cardiac Rehabilitation program, a Pulmonary Rehabilitation program or Vascular Rehabilitation Program. Similar to joining a health club, this independent exercise program has the added advantage of having Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) trained staff available for questions and guidance with your program.

LVAD (Living Vibrantly and Deliberately) Support Group
At Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Plano, we support all those living with an left ventricular assist device, or LVAD, or supporting a loved one with an LVAD. We provide a safe place to interact with other people who have similar, first-hand experiences living with an LVAD. Topics may include what to expect after an LVAD implant, how to manage dressing and battery changes, ways to express emotions or fears or how to communicate with healthcare providers and family members. Talking about these topics within the support group can provide a sense of control and reduce anxiety around this life change.
